Fare Well

Chorus:
We cannot have
What we once had
Where the road will end time will tell
Ohh farewell

Verse 1:
You use to run to me and then refuse to let me go
I’d try to leave you’d block the door and only tell me no
Hands wrapped to mine securely when we crossed the street
I knew deep down you felt the safest never lost with me
No one warned me it would pass
It cannot last forever
I’m just hoping in its place we can find something better
If I could write down every memory we made together
A hundred movies could be made but still remain unmeasured
The daily pressure
Pressed time into a hyper speed
One day you’re on my lap pretending that you’re in the driver’s seat
I shut my eyes opened them up and now that persons gone
I’ll never hear that little laugh which was a perfect song
Don’t know the last time I held you while we sang in church
If I’d known it was the last I would’ve asked for one more verse
I’m saying farewell to the little boy who called me daddy
I hope you fare well as a man of God you will surpass me

Chorus:
We cannot have
What we once had
Where the road will end time will tell
Ohh farewell
I hope you fare well

Verse 2:
You’re sitting next to me on a plane
As I write this
An old impression of you remains
See it right when
You laugh testament to the way
That little boy shines through
The expression that’s on your face
Recollecting the day
I taught you to shave
Out on the road in Michigan I helped you hold the blade
You have your own opinions and your own sort of way
No longer my mini me
But so much more today
It goes
Birthdays bath times little league games
First car graduate then you leave wait
Some things won’t change it’ll be great
But they won’t come till I refrain
From holding on to something that no longer is
From cop to coach to counselor
That’s how I want to live
One day I’ll be on stage when you DJ the last time
I’ll look back and wonder at how it all passed by

Chorus:
We cannot have
What we once had
Where the road will end time will tell
Ohh farewell
I hope you fare well
